Chapter Eighty-Three: Frequent Dismissal of Officers and Establishment of the Eighth School of the West Garden

Thank you for the reward from my old friend 'Wandering the Wild Land'!

—————————————————————————————————

In the fifth year of Zhongping, Liu Kun originally planned to deal with Goguryeo, but after careful consideration, he still canceled this plan.

It is not far from the day when Liu Hong dies, what if Liu Hong dies early because of his own inconvenience?

At that time, it will inevitably be in a hurry, besides, Goguryeo is a country with a large territory, a large population, and already has its own culture, so it is impossible to calm down in a short time, so it is better not to make extraneous branches.

Liu Kun gave up attacking Goguryeo, and there were very few things he needed to worry about, practicing every day, teasing his son, accompanying his wife, inspecting the army, and living a very leisurely life.

Compared with him, because Emperor Liu Hong frequently deposed the officials this year, the ministers in the court were very sad.

In February, wars broke out frequently across the country, and in April, Cao Song, who had spent a huge amount of money to become a lieutenant, was deposed by Liu Hong.

In other words, Cao Song is also wronged enough, now in the hands of He Jin, who is in the hands of the military and political power, almost all military affairs are decided by him alone, and the emperor is angry with Cao Song, what is going on?

In May, Fan Ling, the Shaofu of Yongle, through Zhang Rang, bought an official and became a lieutenant.

Fan Ling's luck was really carried home, and the official hat of the third prince was dismissed by Liu Hong after only wearing it for a month.

Although Fan Ling was bought through the ten permanent servants, he was a good official who did practical things for the people, and when he served as Jingzhao Yin, he built the Jinghe Canal in Jingzhao Yangling County, which was called by later generations - Fan Gong Canal.

Fan Gong Canal is a rare project for the benefit of the people in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. The great Confucian Cai Yong once composed a "Fan Huiqu Song" for him:

Preface - the east of Yangling County, its land is derived, the soil is stinging, the Jiagu does not colonize, and the Jingshui flows for a long time. In the fifth year of Guanghe, Jingzhao Yin Fan Jun was diligent and compassionate to the people, and he set up a new canal. The brine field turned into sweet soil. Farmer Yiyue, talking about the frontier with each other, is a chapter, called Fan Huiquyun:

I have a long stream, Mo or Yanzhi. I have a ditch, Mo or Dazhi.

Tian Chou repels the halogen, Mo Xiu Moli. Hunger and hardship, no mercy.

There is Fan Jun, who is a parent. Standing my acres, Huang Yan paste condensation.

There are many crops, and the benefits are boundless, how can you not like it?

I am camping, and I am successful. I am both rich and rich

For the sake of wine, steam the ancestral spirit. Yifu Huijun, Shou Kao and Ning.

Facts have proved that many people who follow the path of ten permanent servants to buy officials are also good officials who do practical things, such as Fan Ling! And, of course, Liu Kun.

In July, Captain Ma Riyan became a lieutenant.

Ma Riyan is the grandson of the famous scholar Ma Rong, who has inherited Ma Rong's doctrine when he was young, and entered the imperial court with his talents. He used to be a counselor and a Guanglu doctor,

Together with Lu Zhi, Cai Yong, Yang Biao, etc., he recorded the biography of the "Five Classics" in the official collection of the Dongguan Dian School, and participated in the supplement of the "Dongguan Han Ji".

In September, he dismissed Situ Xu Xiang, promoted Sikong Ding Gong to Situ, and promoted Guangluxun Liu Hong to Sikong.

The emperor frequently deposed the officials, most of the courtiers were dissatisfied, and Wang Fen, the assassin of Jizhou, saw the opportunity and united Xu You, Zhou Jing and others to depose the emperor.

The emperor planned to tour north and go back to his hometown to have a look, so Wang Fen planned to take the opportunity to do it, so he also sent a letter to Cao Cao, inviting him to participate in this matter, but Cao Cao refused.

This is also a tragedy, the emperor was busy setting up the eighth lieutenant of the West Garden, canceled the plan for the northern tour, and made a decree; Recruit Wang Fen into the court.

The emperor was originally going to promote him, but Wang Fen thought that the matter of abolishing the emperor was leaked, and suddenly felt that there was no way to heaven and no way to enter the earth, so he committed suicide at home!

Don't mess around if you're timid, and dare to write to others if you plot such a big thing?

Later generations have a saying that is good; 'Xiucai rebelled, and it didn't work out for ten years. It is described as Xiucai who is timid and looks forward to doing things, and this sentence is also quite suitable for Wang Fen.

Liu Kun once wanted to mix a lever in the position of the eighth lieutenant of the West Garden, but later canceled the plan, Liu Hong's death date is getting closer and closer, and if he can't bear it, he will make a big plan.

The production of the eight captains of the West Garden is the same as in history; And nothing has changed.

Xiao Huangmen Jian Shuo is a captain of the military academy,

Hu Ben Zhonglang made Yuan Shao a lieutenant of the Chinese military academy,

Tun cavalry captain Bao Hong is the next military captain,

Cao Cao is a military captain,

Zhao Rong is the left lieutenant of the auxiliary army,

Feng Fang is the right lieutenant of the auxiliary army,

Counsel the doctor Xia Mu as the left captain,

Chun Yuqiong is the right lieutenant;

Everyone was under the command of Jian Shuo, and Jian Shuo was lucky, and at the same time as he obtained military power, Xiao Huangmen was also promoted to Zhongchang Attendant.

Jian Shuo is strong and familiar with military affairs, Liu Hong has been carefully observing and testing Jian Shuo since the time of the Yellow Turban Rebellion.

Jian Shuo was lucky, passed the test, and became Liu Hong's cronies, Liu Hong ordered him to take full charge of the soldiers and horses in the West Garden, even if the general He came here, he had to listen to Jian Shuo's orders.

In October, the Yellow Turbans in Xuzhou broke out again due to hunger and cold, attacking nearby counties. Liu Hong promoted Tao Qian to be the assassin of Xuzhou and went to Xuzhou to exterminate the Yellow Turban.

After Tao Qian arrived in Xuzhou, he appointed Zang Ba and Sun Guan as generals, and defeated the Yellow Turban Army in a war, and most of the Yellow Turban Army was forced to flee into Qingzhou.

After defeating the Yellow Turbans, Tao Qian Biao Zang Ba and Sun Guan were the captains of the cavalry, and ordered them to govern Kaiyang in Langyu County and garrison the north of Xuzhou to prevent the Yellow Turbans from fleeing north from going and returning.

At this time, Tao Qian didn't know that after these yellow scarves entered Qingzhou, they were all incorporated by Zhao Yun, and then sent to Youzhou in batches, never to come back.

In November, the Xiliang Qiang Rebellion, the thieves besieged Chencang {now Baoji}, and the emperor appointed Huangfu Song as the left general, supervising the former general Dong Zhuo, each leading 20,000 soldiers to resist the enemy.

The kingdom is a native of Hanyang, Zhongping rebelled in the fourth year, claiming to be generals, and Ma Teng and Han Sui at this time are his right-hand men.

Dong Zhuo thought that Chen Cang was in danger, so he should save him as soon as possible and said to Huangfu Song; "When the wise do not lag behind, the brave do not stay. If you save it quickly, the city will be destroyed, and if you don't save it, the city will be destroyed. ”

Huangfu Song disagreed, and retorted: "Otherwise! It is better to win a hundred battles than to surrender without a fight. It is to be invincible first, and to wait for the enemy to be victorious.

You can't win against me, but you can win over you. He is not enough to defend, but I have more than enough to attack. Those who have more move above the nine heavens, and those who are less fall under the nine earths.

Although Chencang is small, the city is fortified, and it is not the fall of the nine places. Although the kingdom is strong, it is not the power of the nine heavens to attack and not save me.

The thief's army is not nine days, and the attacker suffers; Chen Cang is trapped in non-nine places, and the defenders are not pulled.

The kingdom has fallen into the land of damage, but Chencang is an unstoppable city, I don't need to mobilize the people, I can win the victory, why should I save it? ”

The kingdom's attack on Chencang lasted for three months, and it was in the middle of Emperor Fu Song's words that he could not attack Chencang for a long time, and the grain and grass were not enough, so he had no choice but to withdraw his troops.

Huangfu Song wanted to pursue, but Dong Zhuo dissuaded: "No! There is a cloud in the art of war, don't chase the poor, and now I chase the country, I am chasing the poor. The trapped beasts are still fighting, the bees are poisonous, and there are many thieves! ”

Huangfu Song retorted again: "Otherwise! I don't fight before, it is to avoid the enemy's momentum. Hit it today, the momentum of the thief army has declined. The thieves are gone, and they have no fighting spirit. This is to fight the chaos, not the poor. ”

The two had opposite opinions, and Huangfu Song led the army to attack alone, attacked continuously, and won a complete victory, killing more than 10,000 people.

Dong Zhuo was ashamed and resentful, and since then he has formed a hatred with Huangfu Song.

After this battle, the prestige of the kingdom fell to a place, and the power was not as good as before, Han Sui, Ma Teng and others abolished the position of the head of the kingdom, and supported the former Xindu County Ling Yan Zhong as the nominal leader and commanded the various departments.

Yan Zhong soon 'fell ill and died', and Han Sui, Ma Teng and others fought for power and power, and then attacked and killed each other, and the power of this rebel army gradually weakened.
